Installation

Application distributed as simple docker image, supported architectures are:

  • amd64 (Intel, AMD)
  • arm64 (Mac Silicon, …)
  • armhf (Raspberry Pi, …)

Sample docker compose file for reference:

version: "3.9"
services:
  honeywell_iaq:
    container_name: "honeywell_iaq"
    command: "mqtt" # or "log"
    restart: always
    image: "ghcr.io/heapy/honeywell-iaq:main"
    environment:
      - MQTT_URL=tcp://192.168.1.1:1883
      - MQTT_CLIENT_ID=honeywell-iaq-mqtt
      - PHONE_NUMBER=+8615151860095
      - PASSWORD=hhjwq15151860095
      - PHONE_UUID=generate-some-using- https://duckduckgo.com/?q=uuid

Why it’s not ideal solutions

This solution relies on unstable Honeywell chinese cloud servers. Sometimes they are may not be available or like it’s happen to me, TLS certificate was expired for few days.

Better solution would be to develop firmware that connects directly to MQTT Broker from device.
